What is Quiz Bowl?  Quiz Bowl (also spelled "quizbowl") is an academic competition played in high school and
college (although middle school students at Hunter are welcome to
join). It is similar to the popular TV game show Jeopardy! in that
questions are read to competitors, who then buzz in to answer, but it
differs in that quiz bowl questions are (usually) much more difficult
and better-written than Jeopardy! clues, and cover mostly academic
subjects, with very little trivia. Why should I join Hunter Quiz Bowl?Quiz bowl, unlike most other sports and extra-curriculars available at Hunter, exposes players to a much wider knowledge base than regular classes would, greatly benefiting players academically.Hunter's quiz bowl team is one of the top teams in the nation. We attend many regional and national tournaments throughout the year, both in the vicinity of New York (Long Island, New Jersey, Columbia University , Princeton, etc.) and all across the nation (Chicago, Washington, DC, Harvard, Yale, etc.), usually bringing 1-2 teams, so new players can get plenty of experience. In addition, we host an annual house-written tournament, with questions written and edited by the team. We make use of technology in innovative ways, holding online practices via IRC, using Smartboards and laptops to keep score and look up information during regular practices, and collaborating with quiz bowl players at other schools to write and edit tournament questions via Google Docs.
